It is hard to believe how short sighted most of this board is. They think we are a player or two away from being a SB contender when nothing is more from the truth. We haven't had back to back top 8 picks because we are ready to contend. Actually we are in a rebuild mode and it will probably take two more years to get where we need to be. We need a LT, C, G, DT, DE, MLB, FS and considerable depth. Most here want a new QB, so I'll throw that in. We have close to 40 million in cap room for next year and a first rounder, but our trades have gutted out 2022 draft. We can do a lot to fix the OL with FA and the draft, but that isn't going to make us a serious contender. We are at least 2 years away.

Check the stats. Through 3 games, he completed 68% of his passes, averaged 300 yards a game and had a passer rating of 100. Then he lost CMac and had injuries on the OLine.

My defense is he has zero help. Not on the line. Not at skill positions right now. We drop almost as many passes as we catch. I think he has talent and can win, but not with this OLine and not without CMac taking away the all out rush he gets every play. His situation here right now is not really different than the Jets.. The RB position is a mess. We get little out of the TE spot and Anderson hasn't done a thing since he signed his contract.. Watson not only costs 40 million a year, which destroys the cap, he causes us to cut starters and denies us draft picks. And until his legal matters are resolved, he won't take a snap no matter what team he is on.

Most knowledgeable football fans realized he had no offensive line, terrible skill position players and was Coached by Adam Gase. How about seeing how we finish? Worst case scenario is we get a shot at the top 2 to 3 QBs in the draft and not get gutted in the Watson deal

Its nice to see a fan base tee off on a guy before giving him any chance at all to succeed. When CMac was not injured and starting, Sam was 3-0, including a win over New Orleans. CMac gets injured, several OLinemen get injured, and all of a sudden we are playing musical chairs with the lineup. We haven't had two weeks in a row with the same starting lineup. Now he goes 0-4 and the fan base turns on him. Soon we get McCaffrey back along with some injured O Linemen so let's see what we have. I am not a fan of trading for Watson, giving up multiple 1st round picks and becoming the Jaguars. He would destroy our salary cap, cause us to have to trade or cut numerous starters and handicap us from being able to build through the draft. Time to concentrate in FA and the draft to fix the OLine. I think Sam will be fine if we build around him. No one can win behind this line, not even Watson. As far as CMac, here's a suggestion. Emmitt Smith used to bulk up and hit the weight room hard as well. He began to have some hamstring issues each year until be began Yoga. It is essentially stretching exercises. I think it would be very beneficial for him and his ability to stay on the field.

So you destroy a teams ability to put together a winning franchise by gutting your draft picks. Hell no. Rebuild the OLine in the draft and FA, get McCaffrey healthy and roll with it.

We have the worst OL in the league. Period. CMac disguised this, but he can't stay healthy. We were never going to be a playoff team with this line. We will have a top 12 draft pick and we should run to the podium to select the Iowa Center. We will have 30 million or more for Free Agents. Go get OLine starters. We can be a playoff team next year with the OLine fixed. But trading pics constantly for a quick fix will kill a franchise. Do it the right way and we will compete for championships. Listen to fans who only want to rush the process and you become the Jets.

Maybe the worst take ever on this site. No, actually it is.

Its not just the plays he makes, its the things he takes away from the defense even when not targeted. With him in today's game, there is no way they bring that all out rush and that opens up the field since their LB can't drop into coverage.

With Christian we are 3-0. Without maybe 0-3. He keeps defenses from exposing how bad our line truly is. And there is zero doubt it is the worst OL in the NFL. Darnold has had his worst day as a Panther today, but damn if he has either been hit or running for life. The few times he hasn't been he has been off. I stopped counting on how many drops our WR have had today. The many issues this offense has are hidden by Christian. I'll judge Sam on how this offense works when our Superstar is back. But no matter what, our off season in FA and the draft have to fix the OL

We are ahead of schedule, but still have pieces to pick up. We are starting to get some depth, like Hubbard, and getting CMac back next week will pay huge dividends. Its always the QBs fault when you lose a game, at least that is what I read here, but our C and Gs are frankly the worst in the league. I thought we would compete next year, but this year is still possible. Draft a C in the 1st round next year, there are 2 good ones available and use the cap room to go after two G. Resign Reddick and Gilmore if possible but don't overpay. Games like this suck, but Mahomes is the best QB in football and is about to be 2-3. He lost the SB last year because of his OL. In 2015, Newton lost the SB due to a terrible Oline. It won't be this year, but Fitterer will fix the OL. Quit overreacting. And I disagree with most here who bitch about every QB we ever had. Darnold will be more than fine, he will bring us our 1st SB.

There are too many moving parts on the online for it to gel today. Get the win and keep working on online continuity. Get CMac and a few other healthy and let's kick ass. Darnold was a steal. When he has time, he is a franchise qb

Without McCaffrey as an outlet the Dallas pass rush can tee off. We will have to hit free agency heavy since we have gutted next years draft with trades

If you ever think drafting an Alabama OLman is a good idea, you're wrong. They are at the top of their game in college and never get better as a pro. I simply never buy the hype. Alabama puts out a lot of NFL caliber WR, RB and DB, but I can't remember when they put out a good OLman.

Darnold played well, Christian was back to being Christian, we did fine on defense. Need to open it up more. This is an offensive league and 19 points won't win many

KJ has some years on him, but is still better than most of what we have. McKinney if he is healthy is a better option than any Mike we have. If they dont break the bank, those are immediate upgrades

Unless he decides to get vaccinated, his career is over. It may be even with being vaccinated

Can't be. We have shoe salesmen and garbage men telling everyone how bad the players, coaches and front office is.

PJ has zero touch. Everything is a straight line bullet

Seems to be a theme. Pride gets burned and spends minutes on the ground. Guess he figures this is the last he will get tv time on an NFL team

This draft is looking like one of our best. Marshall with almost 100 yds, Hubbard with a big time run, Tremble with the TD. Christensen has been good and Nixon is plugging up the middle. The talent is there and when combined with last years, we have made significant upgrades. These last two drafts look like the kind the Cowboys put together in becoming Champions with Aikman, Irvin, Smith, etc. Yes we need depth and who knows what we are getting out of Darnold, but I like what I see so far. Both teams are playing backups, but Indy was a playoff team.

Until people in rural America can get Broadband services, satellite television will have a prominent place. Between Directv and Dish, close to 25 million people use it. AT&T just sold a 30% stake in directv. Most think it is the precursor to selling the satellite service to Dish, at which point AT&T will have nothing to do with satellite TV and will heavily push AT&TV and HBOmax, their streaming services. In any event, the NFL Sunday ticket will be available on another platform soon.

He never got one bit better in college and was selected too high. He is going to wash out and I'd rather have a guy with less talent but more desire make the roster. Time to be done with a really bad selection

I love this draft but the trading back and forth drove me crazy. What is truly great is all of the trading upgraded our team and replaced everything we traded for Darnold but the 2nd rounder next year. Would not surprise me if we get that back as well. Filled a lot of holes and showed up depth. Areas we need to work on are FS, LB and more depth.
